Gold cup (sailing)

Map of the Gold Cup venues 1963–2013

The Gold Cup or Gold Cup is the most important competition of Folkeboot class in sailing and is an unofficial World Cup the same.

The competition has been held in Sweden , Denmark and Germany since 1963 , although the participants come from a number of European and American countries.

History and mode of competition

The original cup was donated in 1963 by Lübeck Senator Hagelstein as a challenge cup , was made of pure gold (1 kg in weight, 985 gold) and was only allowed to be kept in a bank safe because of its value. In addition, the winner got a new folk boat. The gold cup must not be engraved . The winners will be entered on a roll of parchment that will be kept inside the cup.

According to the rules that the club that had won the Gold Cup six times may keep the trophy, the first trophy in 1974 went to the København Amatør Sejlklub (KAS), the second to the Kerteminde Sejlklub in 1982 .

Originally, the competition was to be held exclusively in Lübeck-Travemünde or in a Danish city. In 1984, due to the high number of registered boats (96, 8 of them from the USA), the field was divided into two competitions: the gold cup and the newly donated silver cup.

The first winning crew in 1963 included Heinrich Dahlinger, a world-class handball player.
